Name droppers!!!

Prince Edward of England - he came to the Greenville Highland Games last year and made it a point to come down to the athletic field to meet some of the throwers.

Oh boy...
I will try to do this in cronological order:
1: Bob Griese - He was a friend of my Fathers and we actually used to hang out when I was a little boy. At the time, I did not know he was the Miami Dolphins QB.

2: Burt Reynolds - Same deal really. He used to hang out with my Father and my Fathers police partner. They went to high school together. I knew he was an actor but I had no idea how big of an actor at the time. He was always pretty cool.

3: Gloria Estefan - Back in the mid 80's, I was a DJ and I was working a club in Miami where she was playing. I had drinks with her. Well, I had a sprite and she had water but still....

4: BB King - Security detail. He was pretty old by now so I decided not to talk to him. He seems tired.

5: Harry Connick Jr. - Again, security. He was pretty cool and more energy then a 9 year old boy.

6: Meatloaf - Security. He was kinda cool but HIGH energy.

7: Winger (but I had a conversation with Rod Morgenstein) - Security. He was REALLY cool. I also knocked out their road manager. Out cold.

8: Vinella Ice - Security. Complete and total douch bag at the time.

9: Jimmy Walker - Security (stand up comedy tour for the USO). Very humble and a really nice guy.

10: Toby Keith - I have a garage in a complex where I keep my hot rod. It turns out he also has one where he keeps his boat. I was working on the hot rod with the garage door open and he was coming to get his boat and he came into my garage to check out the car. SUPER cool guy.

10.5 Rob Van Winkle - Yes, I met him in the 80's. I also ran into him a few years ago at a car show in Juipiter. He has settled down quite a bit and was pretty cool. He has a BEAUTIFUL 1969 Caddilac convertible.

-Crispin Glover twice-he has a painting of mine in his house
-Beck
-The Flaming Lips-got to dance onstage when they opened for Beck

-John McCain-Sold him books at Borders
-Dave Barry-Went to a luncheon put on by Borders, Had a book signed for my mother

Since I use to live in NYC I met a lot of celebrities. But the one that sticks out is one individual which I was a bit hurt that he was an *kitten*. I was working at Footlocker in NH and Chris Rock came in. He didn't say anything, he had his headphones in and wouldn't talk to me. I wasn't a crazy like OMG its Chris Rock but I did say hi...hey...its nice to meet you blah blah blah and he just looked at me as if Dude Who the **** are you and Why are you talking to me. From that day forward I dislike him and do not watch anything that he is in.

Tom Arnold & Rosanne Barr - Not like suuuper famous

Chuck Wicks

Elvis Duran, Scary, Carla Marie

Thats about it.

I was on the dignitary protection team with FDNY EMS and met Pope John Paul II and President George W. Bush

Charlie Hunnam from Sons Of Anarchy :):) I told him I loved him. I couldn't help it.

I don't blame you, he is gorgeous!

Just a few weeks ago I stood not 10 feet from James Franco at a resort while he waited for his car at the valet.

Two months ago, I unintentionally followed Damian Lewis around Ikea. They must have just started shooting season 2 of Homeland, since he seems to be getting a bunch of stuff to set up an apartment and they film in Charlotte.

he is even more lovely when you get to touch him. **melt**

james franco is gorgeous too

Toby Keith - Country Musician
Big Kenny - Country Musician 1/2 of Big & Rich

All these guys I got to meet while they were doing USO tours in Afghanistan. We were supposed to get some Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders for Christmas but when the chopper showed up it was some *kitten* from the Army band with a guitar. Talk about a let down.

The fighters were the only ones that we actually got to hang out with for more than a handshake and a autograph/photo. They were all really chill and it was a good time.

Oh boy...

5: Harry Connick Jr. - Again, security. He was pretty cool and more energy then a 9 year old boy.

I'm so jealous!!!!

Forgot the NBA guys. I've met Dan Dic(insert a k - MFP, really?!)au, and John Stockton as well. I've seen John Stockton several times, he lives in our area, and always happen to run into him at local restaurants with his family.


ETA: MFP won't let me post his name as is...

You seem to be a fan so I will tell you the entire story with him.
He was playing at Sunfest in West Palm Beach and my job was one on one security for him.
Basically, this means that I had to stay by his side and right at the back stage steps the entire time.
So, I was at his trailer (Sunfest is an outdoor venue) and his trailer was about 60 yards or so from the stage.
He cane out of the trailer and down the steps and said "Ready?" to me.
I nodded yes and suddenly, he was in a dead sprint towards the stage. I chased after him and caught up right when he hit the stage floor.
He did his show (about 45 minutes) and cane down the stage steps. This time I was ready.
A top speed sprint back to the trailer. We got to the trailer and he looks at me, smiled, and said, "I still have to do my encore".
Another sprint back to the stage.
By this time, I was sucking wind and doubled over trying to catch my breath.
The encore was about three minutes.
He came back down stage and I stood up straight.
Thankfully, we only jogged back to the trailer.

My mother-in-law jokes about inviting Mathew Mcconaughey to my wedding because his family is from Uvalde Texas which is a small town next to the small town we are getting marriend in lol.
